Jason Momoa gave superfan Danny Sheehan a huge surprise when the actor FaceTimed the 7-year-old boy last week.
The Game of Thrones alum reached out after seeing a viral video of Sheehan getting an Aquaman action figure. According to Deadline, Sheehan was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, pineoblastoma, in January 2017 and has been battling the aggressive illness with his family, friends, and community by his side.
